Miami, FL 33186



Project Approach A. Understanding of Project Scope The project's objective is to increase capacity by adding one thru lane in each direction, improve traffic flow and safety, manage access by reconfiguring raised medians and improve drainage. To achieve this, Wiles Road from Riverside Drive to Rock Island Road will be reconstructed a distance of 0.86 miles; Wiles Road will be transformed from a 4‐lane divided roadway to a 6‐lane divided roadway with bike lanes, curb & gutter, and sidewalks on both sides. The existing lanes will be milled, over built to improve existing deficiencies, and resurfaced with two inches of structural course and one inch of friction course of asphalt. In addition, the project entails a new storm water management system inclusive of french drains, new cross drains, interconnecting pipes that range in size from 18 inch to 36 inch in diameter, new outfalls, addition of L‐Walls in strategic locations in order to minimize excavation impacts to adjacent properties, two intersection signalization upgrades at Riverside Drive and Leitner Drive West/Woodside Drive replacing the existing strain pole signals with mast arms, revised signing and pavement marking to current specifications, installation of new lighting and the relocation and/or removal of existing trees along North side, South side and Median to give way to new landscaping and a new irrigation system in the median. A separate set of signed and sealed plans have been provided with the landscaping of this project. A challenge with widening projects that tie into existing milling and resurfacing is maintaining proper grades. Since the sequence of construction is to build the outside widening first to provide two lanes of traffic at all times in both the eastbound and westbound direction during the project’s life, we will ensure the contractor performs a meticulous survey at every step of the construction process in order to guarantee the proper grades are achieved and the widenings are properly tied into the resurfaced roadway. E&R will also conduct survey to ensure a quality product is achieved. Identification of Potential Issues Related to the Scope: MOT: 1) Coordination with Adjacent Projects: the first step before construction starts is to coordinate the placement of MOT devices and signage with the current Wiles Road Project (Wiles 1) on the east side of Rock Island Road; this will require

Project Approach A. Understanding of Project Scope Project Scope: The project involves roadway widening, median reconstruction, sidewalk and bike lane construction, asphalt overbuild, replacement of existing strain pole signals with mast arms, directional boring of lighting conduit, modification to existing drainage as well as installation of new drainage. The plans also feature gravity walls and unique “L” walls of varying heights. This is a mixed‐use corridor, with both residential and commercial considerations. While the south side of the road is populated with businesses, the north side contains the communities of Hidden Hammocks, Country Acres and Whispering Woods of Coral Springs, each represented by its own Homeowners’ Association. These developments will be impacted during roadway widening and milling and resurfacing operations; however, other activities may affect these locations during construction. The fire station currently under construction at Rock Island Rd and Wiles Rd will not be directly impacted by operations. Cooperation will be required to not impede emergency response during construction, specifically during widening and roadway resurfacing. Potential Issues/Challenges: The mast arm installations at Leitner Drive West about the neighborhood of Whispering Woods of Coral Springs. Additionally, 5 drainage structures and 440 LF of 36” pipe are called to be installed along Leitner Drive East. This HOA is preparing to commence a resurfacing of the property and will need additional coordination to limit the potential impacts to construction. We will coordinate with the property manager, Mary Banmiller, to proactively address any concerns they may have. The roadway widening will impact the driveways to businesses in the area. The driveway to the Publix Plaza at Sta. 243+00, is the sole entry point from Wiles Rd. The shopping centers between Riverside Drive and Woodside Drive, as well as the Whispering Woods Business Center, are completely dependent on accessibility from Wiles Rd. Any work in these areas will require additional coordination between the Contractor and stakeholders to complete this work as efficiently as possible. The Contractor will be required to maintain access during roadway widening and driveway reconstruction at each affected entrance. Sheet 148, Note 4 states a single lane closure will be allowed

Project ApproachA. Understanding of Project Scope Project Scope: To ensure that MEI will meet or exceed Broward County’s expectations for the Project, we have carefully reviewed the Scope of Services, Plans, Complete Streets Guidelines, and conducted field reviews of the Project site. We have also reviewed plans for the on‐going project to the east in an effort to understand the transitions and tie‐ins for MOT, paving, striping, and signalization. We understand that this Project’s primary objective is to widen Wiles Rd. from a four(4) lane to a six (6) lane divided roadway with bicycle lanes from west of Riverside Dr. (83rd Ave.) to east of Rock Island (Rothschild Dr.), where it will connect with the on‐going widening project to the east. The Scope of Work for the 0.927‐mile Project includes roadway reconstruction, widening, milling, and resurfacing, extensive drainage, utility relocations, signalization improvements, irrigated landscaping, and street lighting. These improvements are being done in accordance with Broward County’s Complete Streets Guidelines in an effort to improve the aesthetics and efficiency of the facility, and to ensure safe access for pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and transit‐riders within the City of Coral Springs. Drainage: It is the intent of the project to utilize as much of the existing French drain system as possible. In addition to new drainage structures, this involves the conversion of existing inlets into manholes, and the modifications of other inlets to match the new typical section. The scope also includes approximately 450’ of new French Drain on the north side and approximately 1000’ on the south side. In addition to the work along Wiles Rd., the north system will also include a new outfall adjacent to the eastern boundary of the Whispering Woods Park, emptying in to the canal bordering the southern limits of the Whispering Woods neighborhood. The south system will make use of improvements to an existing system that runs parallel to Woodside Dr. and drains into a canal running adjacent to NW 45th St., managed by the Sunshine Water Control District. Sidewalk/Curb/ADA: To improve pedestrian mobility through the corridor, the project includes the installation of new sidewalks, and the replacement of the existing sidewalks on both the north and south sides of Wiles Rd. with 5.5’ to 6’

moving construction ahead signs, relocating construction end signs and readjusting MOT between the two projects. Being able to work and coordinate work with another construction team throughout the length of the project is crucial for the successful completion of any project; in the Pembroke Road project our team worked seamlessly and successfully with the FDOT contractor that constructed the bridge while the Pembroke Road approaches were being constructed. In the same way, we will work with Wiles 1 CEI team, R.J. Behar, to ensure there is no conflicting MOT between the two projects and that any tie in work is coordinated between contractors. A system that has worked well for our team on the I‐75 project, is to conduct biweekly coordination meetings where the topics of discussion include construction activities that commence near or at the project limits. These meetings have had great success and we plan to use the same concept on this project. On the Wiles Road project, we will involve all the project’s stakeholders including Wiles 1 CEI and contractor, HOA representatives, shopping plaza’s representatives and utility companies involved in the project, as needed. 2) Traffic flow and Pedestrian access: Due to its urban location, traffic flow and pedestrian traffic are two of the major challenges along this project. Since Wiles Road connects University drive and SR‐7, it carries high volumes of traffic; just like on E&R’s SR‐7 project, our team’s primary goal will be to move traffic safely and efficiently through the construction zone, so that residents and customers arrive to their destination with minimal delays; to achieve this our team has taken a proactive approach with the contractor when it comes to monitoring and inspecting the MOT on a daily basis. We will provide credible, accurate advanced notification, proper signage, provide and maintain driveway access to residential communities and businesses throughout the project duration, this will make this process more manageable for the traveling public. Another challenge within this project, are the number of pedestrians from the residential communities and commercial shopping that use Wiles Road; our team will make certain the contractor provides at all times for a pedestrian walk route on at least one side of Wiles Road and that crosswalks are maintained or temporary crossing routes be installed with suitable pavement or road rock as well as proper pavement markings and signalization. During our project review, we noticed that on the north side of Wiles Road, some of the existing sidewalk

between 9:30PM and 7:30 AM. Note 13 requires the Contractor to obtain a special permit allowing operations outside of the time constraints placed in the Coral Springs noise ordinance (6:00 PM to 7:00 AM on weekdays, 6:00 PM to 9:00 AM weekends and holidays). We will coordinate with the Contractor to ensure any lane closures occur in the timeframes specified, and only if the required permit has been previously obtained. Utility relocation is a challenge in any project. The volume and variety of adjustments and relocations to be performed by maintaining agencies proves unique and will require a significant level of coordination between all parties. Of note are the 4 locations calling for relocation of the 6” Gas Main (STA 242+90, 251+70, 253+00 and 263+50). There are also 16” and 12” Water Mains requiring relocation throughout the project limits. We will rely upon our previous relationships with David Rivera and Max Chamorro (TECO) and Coral Springs Public Works Department to encourage them to relocate their lines and have the least impact upon construction. Environmental: The silt fence, inlet protection and outfall protection will be inspected regularly, with special attention given to the 11‐acre Whispering Woods Park containing wetland mitigation and the 13.9‐acre Red Lichen Sanctuary which fall within the project limits. The Contractor is required to install silt fence at these locations, and no construction shall occur in the immediate areas surrounding the Sanctuary prior to the installation of protection measures. Any observed deficiencies will be brought to the Contractor’s attention immediately. Special care will be paid during the mast arm installation at the NE corner of Riverside Dr. and Wiles Rd to avoid any contamination of construction material into the Sanctuary. Additionally, TCP Note 17 directs the Contractor to provide a vacuum street sweeper at least twice a week “or as directed by the Engineer.” We will monitor field conditions daily and direct the Contractor accordingly, and jobsite cleanliness will be a topic of discussion during the regular progress meetings. B. Prime proposers approach and understanding of Consultant CEI services and responsibilities: Through our experience with R1261804P1, CEI services for Wiles Rd. from Rock Island Rd to SR7 and R1229508P1, CEI services for Pine Island Rd. from Nova Dr. to SR‐ 84; And from reviewing the Scope of Services as detailed in Exhibit A of the

wide sidewalks. All intersections and driveways will also be brought up to standards with the latest ADA requirements regarding the Detectable Warning Surfaces and cross slopes. Signalization: The signalization infrastructure at Riverside Dr. and Leitner Dr. West will both be replaced. Because of the geometry resulting from the roadway widening and to meet new standards, the existing signal at Riverside Dr. will be reconstructed with mast arms. The mast arms at Woodside Dr./Leitner Dr. West are being upgraded due to the new roadway typical section and to meet the latest 150‐MPH wind speed standard. Both intersections will retain video detection systems, which will need to be recalibrated to capture the new typical section. Finally, the scope also includes improvements to the interconnect communications between the multiple intersections along the Wiles Rd. corridor, including connectivity to the on‐going project to the east of this phase. Lighting: The scope of work includes the installation of new lighting along the north side of Wiles Rd. with new 200W, 33.5’ M.H. luminaires. The south side lighting will be mostly adjustments to the existing system with an occasional new luminaire installed on an existing pole. The street lighting will be completed by both the County’s contractor and FPL. The County’s contractor will be responsible for the installation of FPL provided conduit and pull boxes as shown in the County’s plans. FPL will be responsible for installing the poles, luminaires, service points, and conductors. Signing/Striping: Continuing with improvements in mobility, the Project includes improved signing for vehicular traffic, high‐contrast, 4’ wide bike lanes with markings that include a light green background (4’ x 20’), and internally illuminated street name signs at the signalized intersections. Landscaping: One of the first operations the contractor will consider is the relocation of 77 trees including, live oaks, silver buttonwoods, crepe myrtles, and a variety of palm tree species. New plantings include 87 new trees and over 3300 shrubs, all of which will be watered by a new irrigation system. To account for the loss of existing canopy, an additional 31 trees will need to be planted based on the County’s requirements. The locations for these additional plantings will be coordinated with the County. Additionally, there is a significant amount of tree removal (9 trees), relocation (11 trees), and planting within the Whispering Woods Park that will be completed in conjunction with the new storm drain outfall line along the east side of the

that this milling, resurfacing, and reconstruction improvement project is built correctly and administered efficiently from the onset. We are confident that we will be able to provide Broward County with an unparalleled level of skill and industry knowledge. Our CEI Team is 100% available and would be willing and able to commence work on the Wiles Road Project as soon as we receive the notification to proceed by the County. Our current workload, discussed in detail in section 5 of the Evaluation Criteria, further substantiates the team’s availability, allowing us to handle the proposed project workload effectively, professionally, and within the boundaries of the construction schedule and budget. As the CEI Consultant for Broward County on the Wiles Road segment to the east (from US‐441 to Rock Island Road), RJB has a great deal of actual experience managing the same type of project on the Wiles Road corridor. We have an excellent working relationship with the Engineer of Record (EOR), Mr. Marwan Mufleh, P.E., of Kimley‐Horn & Associates, Inc., who is also the EOR for the upcoming Wiles Road Phase 2 project. Similarly, we have great working relationships with the staff of both cities (Coral Springs and Parkland) and Broward County, involved in this project. As such, there will practically be no learning curve for RJ Behar, and we will be able to offer and implement the “lessons learned” from the adjacent project on Wiles if we are selected for this project. A. UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT SCOPE In keeping with the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the proposed Wiles Road project will transform the existing four‐lane divided corridor into a six‐lane corridor from west of Riverside Drive to Rock Island Road. Other improvements include new mast arm signals with video detection upgrades at the intersections of Riverside Drive and Woodside Drive, wider pedestrian‐friendly 6‐FT sidewalks, a new 4‐FTwide bicycle path, storm drainage improvements which include over fifty‐nine (59) new structures; street lighting improvements conduit, directional bore, and pull box installation by Contractor, remainder of lighting system to be installed by FPL, landscaping improvements which include relocation of existing trees, new trees, sod, and irrigation systems; and new signing and thermoplastic pavement markings. Drainage – The existing roadway drainage is being improved and a new storm drainage system will be constructed,

dead ends, this will be a problem when the road is going to be reconstructed to the south. We will ensure that all the sidewalk on the north side is temporary connected prior to working and closing the south sidewalk. ADA: Our team will ensure that the project will be constructed in compliance with the latest ADA standards. During construction we will monitor all temporary sidewalks and curb ramps to provide safe unobstructed walking surfaces. As the permanent features are constructed we will verify appropriate cross slopes with the use of a smart level and the proper treatment is provided at the intersection curb ramps. We will make sure the signalization push buttons are at the appropriate height and the landings are at the correct distances from the crosswalks. Drainage: The Wiles II project requires an extensive amount drainage construction with nearly 1,000 LF of new French drains, 2,400 LF of pipe culverts, culvert extensions with the use of collars and modification to existing drainage structures. Our team has years of experience with drainage construction projects identical to this project. One of the challenges with these types of installations is conflicts with existing and relocated utilities. Our team will work closely with the entities performing the relocations to mitigate conflicts with the proposed drainage. Oftentimes utilities relocate their services without regard for the future construction. Another challenge is maintaining temporary drainage during construction. We will work closely with the contractor to ensure temporary drainage is accounted for. This will require an extensive effort by the contractor because a large percentage of the drainage, when constructing the widening, are extensions of existing pipe culverts into proposed drainage structures. The Wiles II project also poses a challenge in regards to existing utilities, careful coordination with utility owners to relocate is required to reduce any time impacts to the construction schedule and close monitoring of the contractor while excavating is also required in order to avoid damaging existing utilities within the work zone. See page 255 for additional information

CEI Contract, we understand the expectations required of our Team for this project. Our Team has the proven track record, experience and knowledge to ensure documentation of all pay items and as‐built drawings are done accurately. Additionally, we will ensure proper tracking and resolution of all RFI’s and submittals. The entire inspection staff will make sure that both the Quality Control and Verification testing are done at the correct frequencies and are checked on a weekly basis and that Carnahan Proctor and Cross are scheduled for surveying. Our Inspection Staff will establish critical processes to efficiently track project documentation; Provide open communication on all construction issues and involve the EOR when appropriate; and review and disseminate the CPM schedule to all parties while always looking forward to identifying potential issues that may be on the horizon. Mr. Santiago, CSS, will make sure that all record keeping is up‐to‐date prior to running a progress estimate. With his strong back ground as a CSS, he understands exactly what will be needed to properly and accurately document this project. He will ensure that the electric field books, as‐built plans, time file, weather letters, CPPR’s, and monthly certifications. The F&J Team is committed to the highest quality and professional excellence and has the resources to assure the Broward County’s goals are met. We have refined the same successful and proven throughout our long history of CEI Project Management to address every aspect of work to exceed the requirements of our Scope of Services and our closeout process. Our QA/QC Team includes two highly experienced industry professionals: Francis Chin Sr. P.E., and Osvaldo, “Ossie” Larrazabal, P.E. who will provide Local QA/QC oversight for this project and will performance reviews at 30%, 60% and 90% of the project ensuring pay items are paid correctly, materials are being tested with the correct frequencies and the Contract is in compliance. C. Approach to implementation of Complete Streets initiatives: Complete Street initiatives are those that utilize design standards to make streets safe for all users, including those who walk, ride bikes and use public transportation by designing such features as widener sidewalks and adding bike lanes. See page 371 for additional information

park. Restoration work will also be required for the art installation surrounding the Burrowing Owl pit located in the northeastern corner of the Park which is being impacted by the construction of the new outfall line. Project Challenges: Wiles Road has a high volume of vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic and provides primary facility access to commercial properties, professional business offices, and residential communities. The project is being partially funded through the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP). This means that the County will be required to provide specific reporting to the FDOT to verify the terms of the CIGP are being met and that the money is being spent in accordance with the agreement. It will be essential that MEI provide support for this program such that the County remains on good terms with FDOT for future grants of this type. Items that MEI will be monitoring and acting on as needed include:

Agreement expires on June 30, 2018. A renewal will be necessary before the project is completed;

The County will need to provide monthly reports to FDOT on the status of the Project;

MEI will provide the County with assistance on their quarterly and final reimbursement submittals;

MEI will provide support to the County for both the internal and external audits;

Should the FDOT elect to visit the Project, MEI will arrange and host the field meeting to make sure Department officials are fully aware of the status of the Project and have safe access throughout the job site.

A Project of this scope and location has many stakeholders and MEI has a proven and practical plan to ensure effective See page 759 for additional information

consisting of the proposed installation of a total of 59 new drainage structures, 1,524 LF of French Drain, and over 2,209 LF of optional pipe. This operation will require great coordination with the Contractor and their QC Lab, such as providing enough resources for the required sampling and testing of all earthwork and drainage backfill operations, in order not to pose any related delays or impacts to the project. RJB’s team will assist the Contractor in coordinating with their QC lab. Environmental/Stormwater and Erosion Control ‐ The contractor shall provide an Erosion Control Plan for maintaining all erosion and sediment controls throughout construction. The contractor shall install proper stabilization measures to minimize erosion, retain sediment, and prevent discharging pollutants. Controls may include installation of filter fabric for inlet protection, litter control and waste collection, floating turbidity barriers, controlling offsite vehicle tracking of sediments, dust control, covering trucks with tarps, use of roadway sweepers, and removal of excess dirt from roadways on a daily basis. Our CEI team will ensure that all construction activities are performed in compliance with the NPDES permit requirements, within the allowable methods outlined in the approved stormwater pollution prevention plan, and that the contractor implement best management practices (BMP’s) to avoid environmental impacts. Furthermore, the contractor’s staging area will be carefully reviewed and coordinated with Broward County’s Project Manager and Environmental Services Division to ensure that the proposed location and construction activities do not pose environmental risks or threats to the surrounding habitat. Dust control will be a very important aspect of the project construction. The contractor will be required to use vacuum broom trucks along with water trucks to keep dust control down to acceptable levels. See page 139 for additional information

Past Performance A. Construction Management Methods and Techniques The E&R team manages projects by providing proactive solutions to keep the construction efforts moving forward. We hold look‐ahead meetings with the contractor focusing on uncovering obstacles and developing strategies to address them and building a collaborative environment where all parties are focused on common goals. Our team’s experience on similar projects allows us to establish trust and look at things from a constructability perspective. This experience is what differentiates a competent construction management team from merely an inspection / record‐keeping team. Broward County must have a proactive CEI team that is capable of assisting the contractor and driving the schedule. Our training and experience facilitates sound independent engineering judgment, resulting in a rapid approval process for construction documents. We will monitor and track the project schedule, conformance to contract documents, implementation of the contractor’s QC Plan and reporting. Our approach to this project is based upon our team’s personal experience working on urban corridors where public involvement with residents, businesses and County officials is essential to ensure minimal disruption and plays a big role in successful execution of the project’s construction. Efforts to minimize impacts to the traveling public and residents will be made through public participation meetings and credible advance notification of construction activities. Our team members commit to meeting the County’s project manager to establish project specific goals prior to the start of construction. At a minimum, we obligate our team members to the following goals:

Outstanding Service. We understand the motoring public as well as the adjacent property owners and businesses have high expectations in regards to safety, service and convenience when the County undertakes a roadway construction project, and our

Past Performance: A. Construction management methods and techniques including details on firm’s ability to make decisions and facilitate resolution of disputes: Our Inspection Staff will establish the following critical processes to:

Efficiently track project documentation with a live on‐line document server.

Provide open communication on all construction issues and involve the EOR when appropriate.

Review and disseminate the CPM schedule to all parties while always looking forward to identifying potential issues that may be on the horizon.

Our systematic and detailed process to manage projects such as this will guarantee a quality final product. Pre‐activity meetings will prove vital to all construction actives and will limit, if not eliminate, the amount of re‐work that will be detrimental to the project. The inspection staff will maintain an updated list of deficient items on the project. During the weekly progress meeting we will update Michael Hammond, P.E. of what is completed and what is outstanding. This is crucial in making sure the list is communicated with the Contractor so the Contractor can update the team with the action plan. This also ensures minimal punch list items at the end of the production work and an earlier final acceptance. We will have an online server with remote access so that items will get updated as they occur in the field. The Mr. Hammond, P.E. will also have access to view these remotely keeping him up to date with the latest information available from our project staff members and provide our client with the quickest possible dissemination of material. This will also help facilitate resolution of disputes in a more timely manner as all parties will be privy to the most current material available. Our project team will lean on our SPE, James Jeffers, P.E., with his 25 years of Construction experience to resolve any issues

Past PerformanceA. Construction Management Methods and Techniques: MEI’s commitment and focus begins by ensuring that the team proposed for the Project is highly qualified and experienced in each facet of the Project’s scope. It continues by employing a tested and validated Project Management Plan (PMP) that is supplemented by a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program that ensures that all work is accomplished in accordance with the Contract, plans, specifications, standards, and best practices of the industry. The process is reinforced by independent Project audits, the results of which are reported to MEI’s Senior Management. As a result, accountability to meet or exceed the client’s expectations is maintained at all levels of the team. One of the key features of the PMP is the continuous communication with Mr. Hammond including our reporting of progress and resolution of issues and the receiving of feedback from him on MEI’s performance. MEI also relishes their ability to openly communicate with their multiple partners not just within the Team, but with the numerous experienced staff within each of the Team’s firms. With the inclusion of Tectonic Group International and Aylward Engineering and Surveying, we will be providing a broad network of staff experienced in Broward County operations. MEI understands that each project has unique elements, types of work, and components. The “lessons learned” from previous projects are valuable tools that will be used moving forward on the Wiles Road Project to predict and prevent issues. MEI knows how to apply and put to practice management techniques such as Schedule Impact Analyses (SIA), PMP, Public Information Plan (PIP), and Risk Monitoring & Control to ensure Quality and Performance. Ability to Make Decisions and Facilitate Resolution MEI’s empowerment philosophy is that the Project complexity, combined with customer demand for responsiveness and

team members commit to meeting their expectations.

Effective Workforce. We have assembled superior team members providing Broward County and the travelling public with industry leaders at every assigned position.

Efficient Project Delivery. Our team members commit to deliver this project within the County’s goals for time and budget through proactive project management focused on resolving issues at the lowest possible level and a collaborative working relationship with the project manager, contractor partners and regional stakeholders.

Maximize the Return on Investment. Our team members commit to managing the County’s financial investment in Wiles II in a fiscally responsible manner. Our team members will assist the County’s leaders in finding ways to do things more cost effectively and returning those savings of either time or money back to the County as Mr. Offredi did on the Pembroke Road project.

Safety. Safety for the public and the construction team is the number one concern on any construction project. Our safety goal is consistent with the County’s goals that it sets for its personnel and projects.

B. Knowledge and Experience with Construction Scheduling When reviewing a contractor’s CPM schedule there is no substitute for experience. Mr. Offredi and Mr. Villanueva have extensive knowledge and understanding of the CPM construction. See page 260 for additional information

that may arise throughout the duration of the project. His extensive experience in issue tracking and resolution along with coordinating and negotiating with Contractors will ensure the success of this project. B. Knowledge and experience with construction scheduling: Our Firm will rely on our extensive past performance on projects and ensure all activities in the CPM Schedule are comprehensive, clearly represented and achievable. Monthly reviews of updates will be made and discussed at schedule meetings, ensuring a well‐managed, timely project. On our SR‐834 (Sample Road) from NW 54th Ave. to Tradewinds Park Rd. project, the Contractor was struggling to create a recovery plan that was viable with the resources at hand. We had weekly scheduling meetings with the owners of the company and got commitments for more resources. We were able to makeup time through innovative practices and ended up winning the 2012 FTBA award for best urban project. Both Mr. Jeffers, P.E. and Mr. Salazar, P.E. have extensive experience in reviewing a Critical Path Method (CPM) Contract Schedule for a project and will request it be submitted within 30 calendar days after execution of the Contract or at the preconstruction conference, whichever is earlier. They will ensure that the Contract Schedule is consistent with the Contract Maintenance of Traffic plan, showing activities for each discrete Contract activity to be accomplished within each Maintenance of Traffic phase. If the project is behind schedule, they will ensure a detailed recovery plan will be in place that will put the project back on schedule. See page 372 for additional information

efficiency, requires management to empower the Team to take ownership and responsibility for the Project. MEI team members can carry out their assignments using the skills, methods, and techniques described in this proposal. MEI is comprised of the highest caliber personnel with an in‐depth understanding of the Project objectives and contract requirements which will result in efficient decision making at the lowest possible level, and prompt and clear communication with Broward County and the Contractor. MEI’s Senior Staff has a solid reputation among their various clients with regards to problem solving and decision making with great results. Referring to Mr. Rush’s specific experience in the industry, having the perspectives of a career owner representative and well‐versed engineering professional, the decisions brought to his attention are well thought out and result in win‐win situations the majority of the time. Mr. Rush has nearly 19 years of experience as an Owner (NMDOT, Florida’s Turnpike, City of Miami) making the decisions at the field and managerial levels. The variety of project types he has been involved with, including bridges, drainage, roadway widening, utilities, and landscaping, to name a few, further strengthens his skills in this field. Mr. Guzman’s experience in this industry for over 11 years in construction inspection and contracting brings the same type of variety. Mr. Guzman excels in the technical analysis of project issues and brings recommended solutions that are technically sound, covering all the angles, resulting in a win win for all parties involved. He also brings a very analytical approach to his duties which brings consistent results. Mr. Caride has the right perspective in attacking construction project issues. He not only knows the specifications and contract requirements for each type of work assigned, but he also knows when to escalate the issue should it be necessary. Additionally, Mr. Caride excels at approaching the contractor’s staff about observed issues, discussing immediate resolutions and reporting any conflicts timely and clearly. See page 769 for additional information

communication and coordination are crucial for any type of contract, especially a high‐profile reconstruction project, as is Wiles Road. RJB will be actively involved in the day to day operations, and engage with Broward County’s Project Management staff and our sub consultants on a regular basis to discuss project issues, such as the work progress, address field RFIs, track shop drawings, and monitor the project schedule in the most effective and efficient manner. RJB will establish a Line of Authority and a Line of Communication for this project and discuss from the onset with all parties at the preconstruction meeting. One month prior to the start of the project, David Romano along with Greg Landgraf will have a prework meeting with the project team personnel and 1) communicate Broward County’s project‐specific objectives, 2) ensure each person has an up‐to‐date working knowledge of the latest project and construction documents to fulfill their duties timely and responsibly, 3) ensure each person has necessary equipment to perform their task assignment successfully, 4) make each person aware about their lines of authority and lines of communication specific to the project and 5) last but not least, confirm with all personnel that they are responsible for the quality of service throughout the assignment and should adhere to Broward County’s procedures and guidelines. Most importantly, maintaining jobsite and public safety is imperative at all times. Based on our past experience, RJB will deploy a checklist for each assignment to verify the inspectors have the necessary tools to perform their duties. See page 146 for additional information

Quality Control QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL Eisman & Russo is committed to the promotion of quality and professional excellence. We believe that outstanding performance begins with individual commitment to quality and the firm’s commitment to provide its client with quality service. Our QA/QC Team includes highly experienced individuals such as J. Scott Gombar, PE, Ido Shimony, PE, and Chris Charvat to perform quality reviews to assure compliance with all aspects of the scope of work. The QA/QC reviews will follow a specific QA Plan that will be prepared and submitted specifically for this project. The plan will include our team’s organization for providing the reviews, details on our review process, records generated from the reviews, and certification that the review process was conducted in accordance with the County’s procedures. The quality reviews will be submitted to Mr. Michael Hammond, P.E. and will include compliance with specific quality assurance provisions. Our team of seasoned inspectors know their roles and responsibilities. They will each be prepared with the necessary tools to do their job effectively. They will each have laptop computers with air cards and smartphones. They will have access to the project files through a project specific SharePoint site which will be used for documentation storage and control. They will have all of the governing contract documents as well as the statewide guide lists in their vehicles for use and reference. We will utilize our GoPro Hero3 video camera to document preconstruction conditions, monthly progress throughout construction and project completion. In addition, aerial photography will be performed monthly to document construction progress.

Quality Control Techniques to CEI quality control to control contract documentation, including record keeping, material testing for comparison/acceptance, verification inspection/testing of the work, communication process, and assurance of accurate final as‐built drawings: Our Team utilizes a document management system that is on a remote access server and gets backed up daily. We will scan all documents, such as C‐22 cards for material testing, into the system and categorize it with a master project item list. Our CSS, Ryan Santiago has the proven track record, experience and knowledge to ensure documentation of all pay items, as‐built drawings, material testing and tracking are done correctly. Mr. Santiago will diligently track all materials and will get with the inspection staff and review all the certifications and sampling frequencies for the projects materials. He will make sure that the Concrete, Asphalt, and Earthwork QC Plans are turned in and approved prior to placing any concrete, asphalt, or earthwork on the project. The inspection staff will make sure that both the Quality Control and Verification earthwork record systems (density logbooks) are checked on a weekly basis and our QC/QA staff reviews them monthly. Request for Information and Submittal ‐ We will track all RFI’s generated by the Contractor by immediately contacting the EOR, if there is an issue that needs resolution that cannot be resolved in the field. We will ensure that there is no delay in the review process with submittals. Mr. Santiago will receive all submittals and forward them to EOR immediately. He will keep a detailed submittal log and make sure to send reminders, via email, on a weekly basis. Additionally, he will ensure that all plan revisions are tracked and distributed to the entire staff and contacts. Progress Estimates–Mr. Santiago will make sure that all record keeping is up‐to date prior to running a progress estimate. With his strong back ground as a CSS, he understands exactly what will be needed to properly and accurately document this project. He will ensure that the electric field books, as‐built plans, time file, weather letters, CPPR’s, and monthly certifications. The F&J Team is committed to the highest quality and professional excellence and has the resources to assure the

Quality ControlOur approach to quality starts with the development of a Project Management Plan (PMP) which outlines how specific actions (inspections, documentation, communications, etc.) will be completed by our Team. The PMP will be supplemented by a QA/QC Plan to ensure that we are providing the results expected from Broward County, including but not limited to, fulfilling the Project objectives for time and money and executing the Project with the quality standards specified in the contract documents. The PMP addresses activities from award to Project closeout and at a minimum will ensure that: • There is a detailed documentation of all Project activities • The material testing criteria are clearly understood and followed • The verification Inspections are performed as required • There is a communication plan that is understood and reinforced by all parties • Plan changes and as‐built conditions are fully documented What follows is a brief description of sections form our PMP and excerpts from our QA/QC Plan that give an indication of how these activities will be monitored. Documentation and Recordkeeping MEI will provide accurate and thorough documentation of all Project activities. Work will be documented in the Daily Work Reports, field books, photographs, video, or any other necessary form(s) appropriate to the Project. Documentation will be reviewed on a daily basis by Mr. Guzman, and copies will be uploaded to a SharePoint site for immediate internet access by MEI and Broward County staff. All hard copy correspondence received from the contractor will be scanned, labeled, and catalogued into a database/spreadsheet. Our quality control of this activity will include, but is not limited to:

Comparing hardcopy submittals to scanned documentation

Comparing received deliverables to expected deliverables

Reviewing the actual and expected response times to submittals

Review photos and video for Project record‐keeping applicability

Material and Work Acceptance (Verification Testing) The Material and Work Acceptance criteria will be thoroughly

Quality Control Our accomplished incorrectly. Our proactive philosophy emphasizes the early resolution of project issues. An ongoing Quality Control (QC) process goes a long way identifying these key issues early. RJB’s policy is to strive for excellence in the quality and the professional services that we provide to our clients. We attain this objective by adhering to proven procedures formulated to ensure the quality of contract deliverables. These procedures have been customized to specifically meet the objectives of our clients and include assessment procedures to ensure uniformity and consistency in meeting and exceeding overall CEI contract quality requirements. Also, through the use of the latest technologies available and the efforts of our dedicated staff, RJB believes in providing a superior service to Broward County. Mr. David Romano, PE will perform the Quality Assurance (QA) reviews and monitor the performance of the assigned project staffing on a quarterly basis. The primary objective outlined in our QA Plan is to ensure an exceptional staff capable of performing at their highest level, verifying the quality of the Contractor’s deliverables to be incorporated into the project, and capable of monitoring all related activities to ensure compliance and conformance with the contract documents. There will be two types of QA Reviews conducted by the RJB Team. The first type is a Project Level Internal Audit Review performed by the assigned CEI project staff on a regular basis to evaluate the adequacy of staff, equipment and resources, procedures, and documentation. The project level QA will be focused on critical requirements; these are to be used as indicators of the overall quality of the CEI and Management effort. The findings will be summarized and maintained in the Project‐level QA file at the CEI field office. The second type of QA review will be the Corporate‐Level Audit Review performed by the QA Manager. Corporate‐level project reviews and administrative audits will cover those areas identified in the Scope of Services. The Corporate‐level review will also consist of an assessment category on critical requirements and will follow the same procedure as used for the Project‐level review. At this level, corrective actions and/or recommendations for improvements will be reported and the findings will be summarized and submitted within 7 days of performing the audit to the County’s Project Manager.

Miami, FL 33186



Broward County’s goals are met. We have refined the same successful and proven throughout our long history of CEI Project Management to address every aspect of work to exceed the requirements of our Scope of Services and our closeout process. Our QA/QC Team includes two highly experienced industry professionals: Francis Chin Sr. P.E., and Osvaldo, “Ossie” Larrazabal, P.E. who will provide Local QA/QC oversight for this project. They are tasked with the initial and biannual reviews of the Team to evaluate resources, equipment, certifications, documentation, and processes and recommend improvements. After each review, a detailed report will be sent to James Jeffers, SPE and Michael Hammond, P.E., and will include compliance with specific quality assurance provisions of the contract. The results of these reports will be utilized to develop management action plans to improve on‐the job performance. Guidelines will be followed as set forth in CPAM. In addition, our QA/QC staff will performance reviews at 30%, 60% and 90% of the project ensuring pay items are paid correctly, materials are being tested with the correct frequencies and the Contract is in compliance.

reviewed by all inspection personnel prior to the start of the job. MEI will maintain a spreadsheet of all materials entering into the work and will track the materials by date received, quantity, type, and basis of acceptance. MEI will maintain and analyze records of all sampling and testing completed. Our quality control of this activity will include, but is not limited to:

Comparing field notes against the material acceptance logs

Comparing basis of acceptance against contract standards

Documentation review to ensure that the field reports for testing results are being submitted within one week (as required by the contract)

Communications MEI will develop a communication plan that will facilitate the handling of information in the most effective and easiest manner possible (e‐mail or phone), but will also include instructions for hardcopy correspondence. It will dictate who to be is included on what communication and how certain correspondence is handled within MEI, between MEI and Broward County, and between MEI and the Contractor. A draft of the Communication Plan will be distributed and discussed at the Pre‐ Construction Meeting. Our quality control of this activity will include, but is not limited to:

Reviewing e‐mail and hardcopy correspondence for inconsistencies

Interviewing Mr. Hammond regarding the effectiveness of our Communication Plan

As‐Builts MEI’s Senior Inspector will keep an up‐to‐date as‐built record of all construction activities by annotating and dating the completion of activities on a field set of plans. Changes to the design set will be clearly annotated in red. Changes addressed and/or approved through a change order or RFI will be clearly noted as such. MEI will use this working field set to produce a clean and accurate as‐built record drawing. Our quality control of this activity will include:

Regularly reviewing the field set of plans to ensure changes are recorded as they occur.

Reviewing the final as‐built drawings for the proper inclusion of details from the plan set.

See page 772 for additional information

RJB will adhere to our in‐house Quality Assurance Program, establish and maintain all lines of communication between all interested parties, keep the public informed of all construction related information, monitor and closely track the construction schedule, maintain strict coordination with our internal staff as well as with Broward County, and ultimately ensure that the contractor builds the Wiles Road from Riverside Drive to Rock Island Road per the required plans and specifications, building codes ‐ and all within the construction budget and time. Our CEI Team will review the contractors Quality Control Plan for verification that it meets the overall intent of the contract documents, perform in‐house and laboratory verification testing of materials as required, verify that all materials installed at the site meet or exceed the specifications, monitor the delivery and placement of steel, limerock, asphalt, concrete and all associated materials for adherence to the specifications, perform any and all inspections as required/requested by the engineer for conformance. The Team selected for this contract possesses the experience required to bring this project to a successful completion. Our QC/QA Team will use established Guide Lists to evaluate the performance of the inspection staff which will cover all the major aspects of roadway and bridge construction, including materials and testing requirements. Additionally, as part of our QA program, we will develop a Final Estimates Guide specifically for this project to review the CSS and documentation in preparation for submittal of the Final Project Closeout Package. After the initial 30% quality assurance evaluation, the staff will be re‐evaluated again at approximately the 60%, 90%, and 100% time interval. Our report will be submitted to the County’s Project Manager in written form no later than 1 week after the review has been performed. The intent of our QA Program and evaluation is to give the County sufficient confidence that the RJ Behar Team is following their established procedures, and maintaining accurate and error‐free project records and documentation. The following diagram illustrates in flowchart form our QA/QC processes. See page 174 for additional information

Workload of the Firm with challenges and approach in managing them: Detailed list of Past, Current and future projects attached. Our Firm believes in Partnering with the Contactor to ensure a successful project. On our SR‐834 (Sample Road) from NW 54th Ave. to Tradewinds Park Rd. project, the Contractor was struggling to create a recovery plan that was viable with the resources at hand. We had weekly scheduling meetings with the owners of the company voicing our professional opinion and received commitments for more resources. Through the implementation of innovative practices, we were able to make up time and consequently won the 2012 FTBA award for Best Urban Project. Our SR‐A1A from the County Line to Seacrest Parkway project contained many unique features in a high visibility corridor with heavy tourist traffic. This contract also featured a JPA with the City of Hallandale Beach which called for a distinct decorative sidewalk pattern to be installed, as well as special street lights requiring a typical within the special caps for the micropile and miniature drilled shaft signal foundations. We showed initiative and worked with the Contractor to address these items early on to minimize the impacts to construction. As a result, this project was awarded the 2016 FTBA award for Best in Construction Partnering Award. Please Refer to Proposal J2112395P1 submittal page 406 for project list.

Work Load of the Firm It is not uncommon to have RJB work on multiple projects concurrently. This is a very common practice. Each project is assigned a core project team, which is made up of the Project Manager/Senior Project Engineer, Project Administrator, Contract Support Specialist, and Field Technician/Inspectors. Similarly, it is not uncommon to have the Project Manager manage multiple projects. For smaller projects with longer durations, the Sr. Project Engineer may be working on multiple projects. However, on larger projects, such as the proposed Wiles Road project, we are proposing the Project Engineer, Contract Support Specialist, and the Field Technician/Inspectors and they will be fully dedicated to the project, because of the complexity of the project and the 650 calendar day duration requirement. RJB’s project management approach for managing concurrent projects is best described as being involved, pro‐active, and responsive. While we may have multiple concurrent projects going on at the same time as this project, there is no interference from one project to another, as we have several full‐staffed CEI Project Teams, each assigned to their projects respectively. With the exception of the Senior Project Engineer, there is no sharing or overlapping of project personnel between our other projects. Our proposed Project Manager ‐Sr. Project Engineer, Mr. David Romano, P.E., will be directly involved in the project, approximately 15% and will be responsible for overseeing the entire CEI operation, administration, management, and quality control/quality assurance of construction for the Wiles Road Project. Typically, Mr. Romano works on two to three active projects at a time, while having his core team members consisting of the Project Engineer, Contract Support Specialist, and Field Inspectors, handle the project day‐to‐day operations. Project Team Meetings ‐ RJB holds regularly scheduled Weekly (In‐House) Meetings with all of RJB’s Project Managers to ensure that all of the company’s projects milestones are adhered to. These weekly meetings are very effective and allow RJB to keep up with all aspects of all of the company projects. Our Weekly Meetings Spreadsheet addresses project "action items", project budget status, staffing requirements and the status of the milestone dates.

6. Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements: State the Proposer’s willingness to meet the project’s completion date requirement and willingness to keep project total costs below the project budget. Completion Date Requirement: 18 months construction schedule. Project Budget: $1,200,000. YES = 2 Points NO = 0 Points





Miami, FL 33186



Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements E&R is committed to meeting both time and budget requirements on Wiles II for Broward County. E&R has a long history in exceeding our clients’ expectations while delivering a quality product that is cost effective and on time. Our team manages projects by providing proactive solutions to keep the construction efforts moving forward. Our team’s experience on similar projects allows us to establish trust and look at things from a constructability perspective. Our team’s pledge is to quality; we will consistently meet Broward County’s goals for contract time, budget and timely submittals and commit to the same for this signature project. Our recently completed Pembroke Road project was completed on time and under budget.

Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements:State the Proposer’s willingness to meet the project’s completion date requirement and willingness to keep project total costs below the project budget. Completion Date Requirement: 18 months construction schedule. Project Budget: $1,200,000. YES, our Firm will meet the project’s completion date requirement of 18 Months and keep project total costs below the project budget of $1,200,000.00

Willingness to Meet Time and Budget RequirementsSchedule Compliance and Monitoring MEI’s staff is intimately familiar with Critical Path Methodology (CPM) and will review and analyze the Contractors schedule before the Project begins and at regular intervals throughout construction. During each schedule review MEI will follow an established procedure outlined in our PMP to compare the Contractors actual progress against their planned schedule. Activities on the critical path that are behind schedule will be brought to the attention of the Contractor for immediate resolution. Should the schedule or contract time be in jeopardy of failing to meet the Project objectives, MEI will take immediate action to assist and require the contractor to bring the Project back on track. Schedule Reviews MEI will review the baseline construction schedule and each subsequent schedule to ensure that it includes all necessary activities, critical submittal dates, progress milestones, long lead items, and a completion date within the allocated construction time of 18 months. We will analyze the schedule for logical relationship between tasks and appropriate task durations. Any questionable issues with the schedule will be documented to the Contractor for review, explanation and/or corrections. After the start of construction, MEI will continuously monitor the schedule by first estimating the progress of each activity currently underway. Activity progress is recorded by our Inspectors on a daily basis and the information is made available to Mr. Rush and Mr. Guzman during schedule reviews. Field activities, some expected and some unexpected, that could possibly impact schedule (weather days, equipment breakdowns, traffic accidents, presence of contaminated materials) will be continuously recorded and reported to Mr. Hammond. See page 786 for additional information

Willingness to Meet Time and Budget RequirementsThe RJB Team has an excellent record in Construction Administration of Roadway Construction Projects in highly urbanized areas, and will administer the project efficiently and effectively to ensure that the project is completed within the contract time and budget. As soon as the project is assigned by the County, RJB’s Project Manager/Senior Project Engineer, Mr. David Romano, will immediately review the designated project budget, paying close attention to the cost breakdown, as identified by assigned personnel, manpower allowance, equipment and direct expenses, overhead, and FCCM. For cost control and budget management, RJB utilizes a job cost accounting program that tracks all project charges as they come. The name of the program is Deltek, customized specifically for Architectural/Engineering firms. This format is then translated into our accounting system and reflected in our progress reports supplied to our clients and summarized in the project tracking spreadsheet, which is then reviewed with the County staff at each monthly progress meeting. RJB will be able to closely track the financial status of the contract at any point in time. Mr. Romano will notify the County that the work is nearing completion and when the task assignment funds or time is expiring.
